      Hey, I was just railing im the X-mas thread and when Ep posted I wondered what you Wiccan's do for x-mass? I suspect, much like some jewish friends I've had, you celebrate it as a cultural event and leave out the religion.

My extended family is not wiccan. They are generally Christian, but not churchgoing. Christmas Eve in my family means hot chocolate, and a lively reading of "The Night Before Christmas", followed by the presents (because various children have to be farmed out to the estranged parent at noon). Christmas Day is everyone sitting around watching TV, playing with toys and cooking dinner, usually eaten at 3pm ish.

I used to celebrate Yule with my Coven, but since I'm solo now I'll have a little ceremony on my own. (My husband classifies himself as "pretty religious", but doesn't do church. He does read his bible, listen to Christian Rock and have strong opinions. I guess you can say he's a solo practitioner of Christianity.
